for the best two months of weather. The rest of the time is too hot to venture out for serious exercise except at sun up.

So how much is the tax? Just 0.11% ?

Selling more delusion to the Thai public. This place is propaganda on roids.

For me, sometimes it works other times it just does not. Baffles me as well.

"Conditions Apply" for everything the Thai bureaucrats come up with.

Banana Republic

What day, this week, does the water chucking start (BKK)? I need a plan to hibernate before it starts.

I asked the girl at the reception in my condo that if anyone cam enquiring about units for sale could she tell them my unit number. She asked for 3%! I already pay her wages through the common fees!

Anything that is "leather look" will peel off within a year or so and you will be walking around with bits of black plastic film stuck to you.

You should submit your videos whilst the brown traffic cop cars sit on the hard shoulder just ignoring all the reckless drivers, day after day, year after year.

So what happens I come and then fail the test at the airport. I think this is what people should be made aware of.

I looked up what the role of the commission is, the one that Thailand did not want to cast judgment on Russia on. Its major role includes: "review the human rights records of member States, work to prevent abuses" Its bad enough that Russia can effectively stop anything the security council decides (it has veto power). Better to get it off the human rights council so its can't interfere with the accusations against it in an unfair manner there as well. Let those its soldiers may have raped, murdered, held hostage, etc etc have some route to fair unbiased justice.

I read about this, this morning with my coffee. Absolutely disgusted describes how I felt.

My issue with Qatar is you have to select a flight that has a certain aircraft and configuration because some of the their fleet still has the old style side by side seating. Easy to choose Emirates and their 380 fleet. Although Emirates suddenly more expensive by a lot these days.

And one the worst business class lounges in my memory is used at Manchester.

Forget it, if you did not get my point you did not get, I can't help you anymore.

But SWIFT cannot be used so if you are in China you have full access to CIPS.

The OP claims "sanction busting".

Bangkok Bank has a fully owned Chinese subsidiary. They are the only Thai commercial bank with a significant presence in China. So probably don't have to use SWIFT.

China will eat this place (and others in the region) in the next decade. And with a succession of corrupt governments nothing is going to stop it.

My own experience with my hospital (private big name Bangkok) is they just rack up prices and charges and use silly referrals. I have insurance so thats not such a bother but a lot of the doctors are simply unable to sit and have a valid conversation about my condition or answer to my expectations of a well paid doctor in one of the countries leading hospitals. I dont know if they are scared of discussion or simply look down on patients. It was one of the reasons I decided to leave Thailand.

I think we all know the answer to that already.

I just read this as well. Always surprised to see such stories about this place in the international media. There should be more. Shows how poor the media here is.

Errr you are rich.

Election poster season again? I would say they were eyesores but the streets are an eyesore anyway Mr. Governor cos you don't enforce rules or guidelines. Half the payments on my soi outside rich houses have been made into gardens by those rich bottardoes that own the houses behind them. Whats left are a nightmare to walk on cos they have been bust up and repaired so many times.
